Goddess Rising Slot Game Review
Goddess Rising slot comes with a theme inspired by the ancient Egypt goddess Isis, and it was launched October 8th 2018 by Green Tube (Novomatic). Of course, there are already plenty of slots out there with similar themes, symbols and graphics, so the real question is if the Goddess Rising slot has anything new or significant to offer. This is what we shall take a closer look at in our full review here.
What you can notice from the get-go is the very low max bet limit, and the high volatility combined with an extremely low max win. This is not the best first impression we’ve got, but the fact that you can win a Grand Jackpot helps smooth things over, at least to a certain extent. The Grand progressive jackpot will often reach 5 figures, but winning it is certainly not easy.
We have to say that this game is a strange mix of things. The RTP is low and the volatility high, which means you’ll lose a lot of money as you play a game where the most you can hope for outside of the Grand jackpot is 200 times your stake. How you are supposed to keep yourself afloat while waiting for the big jackpot is nothing short of a mystery to us.
Technical details
Before we delve deeper into the mystery of the Goddess Rising slot, we shall reveal the game’s most relevant technical details for you:
- RTP: 95 %
- Variance: High
- Layout: 5×4
- Paylines: 40
- Bonus features: Free spins, Expanding symbols, Wilds and 4 different jackpots
- Bet size: 0.50 to 5
- Max win: 200x stake
Like so many Green Tube (Novamatic) games, Goddess Rising slot also comes with an RTP that is well below the industry average. However, it’s understandable on this slot because of the two progressive jackpots that need to be fed a small percentage of every spin.
Anyway, this is a highly volatile game, and this means that you have to brace yourself for some dry spells and fluctuations on your bankroll. The max bet is fairly low, so you don’t really need a mega bankroll to be able to play with the maximum stakes here, but it’s still wise to be somewhat cautious.
Goddess Rising Slot on Mobile
You can certainly play Goddess Rising slot on both tablet and mobile, and anything else would be strange since we live in 2019. Green Tube (Novomatic) always optimizes their new games to be compatible with all handheld devices, and you can play on your Android, iPhone or iPad.
Bonus features
Goddess Rising slot takes you back to ancient Egypt, a theme we’ve seen on many different slots out there. You’ll find the usual scarabs and beetles on the reels, as well as whips, feathers, pharaohs and Horus and Anubis. The Pharaoh symbol is the highest paying symbol in the game, and 5 across a pay line will give you a win of 4 times your stake.
The wild symbol on Goddess Rising slot is the deity, Isis, and the wild symbols will step in for any symbol bar the scatter to maximize your winnings. It can only appear on reel 2, 3 and 4, and it will expand to cover the full reel when it does. This means that you can get 3 fully stacked wild reels which could land you some nice payouts.
Free Spins
Goddess Rising is really all about the free spins feature, and it’s played out when you land at least 3 scatters on the same spin. You can land 3, 4 or 5 scatters, and this will reward you with 2, 10 or 100 times your stake in addition to 12 free spins. The goddess Isis wild can land during the free spins feature, and 1, 2 or 3 wilds will give you 1, 3 or 5 extra free spins. There is no upper limit to how many spins you can get.
Don’t forget that the goddess Isis wilds will also expand on the reels, and in the free spins feature it will also upgrade surrounding symbols to increase your winnings even further. If you can get the whole screen filled with the Pharaoh symbol you’ll win 200 times your stake. Not the highest win, we know, but this games potential lies in the 2 progressive jackpots.
Jackpot or max win
The max win in the free spins feature is a measly 200 times your stake, and this is really not very impressive at all. Not least since this is a highly volatile slot. However, you can still win big if you land the Grand jackpot, and this helps balance things out a little bit, at least.
Goddess Rising slot comes with 4 different jackpots, whereas 2 of them – The Mini and The Minor – are fixed at 5x and 20x your stake. The jackpot feature is triggered at random in the presence of 1 Isis Wild symbol. This opens a bonus game with 12 coins to choose from, and whatever jewel you reveal will represent one of the 4 jackpots. Once you have collected 3 identical jewels you’ll win the corresponding jackpot.
The Major Jackpot starts at £400 and the Grand Jackpot starts at £5,000. These two are progressive jackpots, and it’s not unusual that the Grand Jackpot grows into some decent 5 figure payouts. As you understand from this, the big payouts in this game are reserved for the big jackpot.
Conclusion
We have to be honest, and the only thing we can say from the heart is that Goddess Rising slot is not a very worthwhile slot to play. The theme isn’t special, the graphics and symbols are nothing we have not seen many times before and the potential in the main game is a complete joke. The only thing to play for here is the Grand jackpot, but there are so many better progressive jackpot slots out there that it seems meaningless to waste your time in this.
Pros
- Free spins with “unlimited” refill
- Two fixed jackpots and 2 progressive jackpots
- Grand Jackpot seeds at £5,000 (often reaches 5 figures)
Cons
- A highly volatile slot with ridiculously low potential
- RTP is 1% lower than the industry average
